2019 Berkeley Promise Application Open Now!

The application for the 2019 Berkeley Promise Scholarship Program is now open! The Berkeley Promise is a college access and matriculation scholarship initiative designed to help Berkeley public school graduates advance on a path to earn a degree or certificate that starts with community college. Through the Berkeley Promise Scholarship Program, the BCF is awarding 25 scholarships in Fall 2018 which includes $1,500 paid directly to the student over 2 years (while in community college) and monthly group mentoring sessions to help students succeed. Promise Scholars who successfully transfer to a 4-year university will have the opportunity to apply for additional scholarship funds of $8,000 over 2 years.
